Shakespeare's Surrogates contends that the adaptation of
Renaissance drama played a key role in the development of modern
drama's major aesthetic movements. This book reveals the way that
modern drama built itself in response to its Elizabethan past,
ransacking the literary work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries
for 'new' innovations in dramatic technique and content. Indeed,
playwrights central to the evolution of modern and postmodern drama
often returned at key moments in their writing careers to the
remains of the Renaissance. Sonya Freeman Loftis argues that for
playwrights such as Bernard Shaw, Bertolt Brecht, Eugene O'Neill,
Samuel Beckett, Tom Stoppard, and Heiner Muller, Shakespearean
appropriation was central both to the creation of their public
personas and to the development of their own dramatic canons.
